Waddya Mean "Democrats", You Corporate Stooge?

Ahh, well, and who among us does not enjoy a Dr. Strangelove reference? Evidently the non-enjoyers include NY Times editors, their readers, the 43% of Democrats who voted for no-PAC Bernie, and even, if we believe what she says rather than what she does, Hillary Clinton.

In any case, the current revised title is

"Democrats Rake In Money, Thanks to Suit by Republicans"

That's not quite "Republicans made us do it!", but it's closer. And it spoils our fun, since it was only last week the Times ran a piece titled

To be fair there is a lot about Hillary that is baffelingly dated. But in this instance, I think the Times people quickly got the message that running yet another reminder of what a special-interest sell-out their party establishment has foisted on an unhappy Democratic base may not be helpful to the ongoing Hillary cram-down promotional effort.

JIB - I posted about the friends/Facebook poll yesterday. I got the idea from Herman Cain (remember him?)

Anyway - you go to the search bar and type in the candidate's name - their official page will pop up as an option. When you click on their page - over on the right hand side it will show the names/number of your friends who "liked" or follow their page.

I don't know if this works on a phone or not. That's how it works on a laptop.

I don't think it shows anything very significant but most of the people who responded to Herman Cain had a much larger # of Trump supporters. That is understandable as most of them were supporters of Mr. Cain.

I think it's amusing that while the Dems are out screaming about the Russians hacking into our voting system, their minions are quietly going about registering dead people and allowing illegal immigrants to vote.

Currently watching The Great War in 10 minute, week by week, YouTube segments. It begins with the last week in July 1914, so if you start now, you can catch up pretty quickly, and thereafter watch an episode a week for the latest in WWI news! The narrator has a quasi-period look and sound, himself, which goes with the documentary footage from old news reels, clippings & pix.

Fav WWI tidbit so far: Conrad von Hötzendorf, the Austrian army chief of staff, was once described as "the most dangerous kind of officer, both stupid and intensely energetic."

There's another site that's doing Real Time WWII in Tweets! This one starts in July 1944 with the invasion of Sicily. North Africa always seems to get short shrift! The only problem is that it takes forever to scroll back to the initial tweet to get started. Is there a trick for doing that? The way Twitter seems to have things set up now, you can only link to a specific tweet, which appears in an overlay; you can't link to a specific position in the tweet stream itself. You could develop carpal tunnel syndrome trying to get back through more than a year's worth of tweeting!

Fans are excited today in C'lumbus. Former coach Earle Bruce "dots the I" during script Ohio.

Ol' 8-3 Earle; I really hated that POS for the way that Schlichter's gambling problem blossomed under him. It might have happened anyway but to hell with Earle. His maudlin on air breakdown at Colorado State, where he also went 8-3, is one of my faves.
